"Fermin put in a great performance. Three goals, the first one was very important to open the scoring. He's a player who has it all: he's dynamic and we need his speed too. The first thing is that we won today, which is the important thing, and that has to give us confidence for that game. It's a huge game. There's not much time to waste. We're going to recover, and we have to be ready."
"He has no physical problems. For him and for everyone, it's an important victory. On Sunday, he'll be another Lamine, and he will be at 100 percent. Last year, he performed very well in the big games, and I have no doubt he'll do it again. El Clasico is a very important game, but not just for Lamine, for the whole team. We have to prepare well for this game. That's in the past."
Hansi Flick celebrated Fermin López's hat-trick in Barcelona's 6-1 victory over Olympiacos, highlighting López's energy, pace and clinical finishing. Flick said the result arrives at an ideal time to build confidence ahead of the Santiago Bernabéu clash with Real Madrid and emphasized rapid recovery and focused preparation. Flick declined to comment on refereeing decisions and stressed the team's aim to improve each match. Flick confirmed Lamine Yamal is fit and expected to be at 100 percent for El Clasico and underlined that the fixture matters for the entire squad, not just individuals.
